The Biden administration has faced a great deal of criticism, particularly from Republicans and conservatives, for putting migrant kids in cages at the southern border.
But we’ll have you know that, at least if these photos from a “temporary overflow facility in Donna, Texas,” are to be believed, the administration isn’t doing that at all.
No, they’re putting kids in plastic boxes:

Each of eight "pods" in the soft-sided facility has a ~260-person occupancy, said @RepCuellar who provided the photos to Axios. But as of Sunday, one pod held more than 400 unaccompanied male minors. https://t.co/TRLqmkCV0N

So, the border patrol tent isn’t just crowded … it’s overcrowded.

Not even a smidgen!
Not technically a cage, so, Orange Man still bad.

Ah, OK. Good point.
We've gone from "kids in cages" to "kids in plastic." Well done @TheDemocrats. You've really improved the situation. https://t.co/5lKiNdJv3M
